CU Boulder researchers, funded with $2.2 million from the Centers for Disease Control, are studying whether installing simple air purifiers in babyÖ±²¥app classrooms can keep students from missing school.
As cities age and natural disasters escalate, the international community can play a key role in helping revise outdated infrastructure—and save lives. Associate Professor Shideh Dashti offers her take.
Geologists at CU Boulder will experiment with injecting water deep below Earth's surface in an effort to stimulate the production of hydrogen gas—a clean-burning fuel that could provide energy for the globe.
A CU Boulder study shows that 96% of all carbon offset credits from U.S. forestry projects were issued for improved forest management practices, not tree planting or forest protection.
From natural resources, like air and water, to sustainability, CU Boulder and CSU do incredible work to solve challenges related to these necessities. While the Buffs and Rams gear up for the best in-state football rivalry going, the Rocky Mountain Showdown on Sept. 16, we’re taking a moment to reflect on research chops, too.
The world’s coldest, driest continent saw temperatures as much as 79 F higher than usual and three times as much snow as usual in March 2022, according to new CU Boulder research highlighted in an international report this week.
The Weimer Lab, led by Professor Al Weimer, has introduced an efficient and babyÖ±²¥appal method to use renewable energy to produce fuel, opening doors to clean and sustainable energy sources for a wide array of industries, including transportation, steelmaking and ammonia production.
In a new study, the Hayward Research Group has developed a material that can transform light energy into mechanical work without heat or electricity, offering innovative possibilities for energy-efficient, wireless and remotely controlled systems.
Roughly 73 million years ago, dinosaurs like tyrannosaurs and hadrosaurs lived among conifer trees in northern Alaska. The region was also home to a much smaller creature—a tiny mammal that weathered months of darkness and freezing temperatures in the winter.
